Alfa Romeo to put 8C Competizione into production!

Showing that he's a
genuine car guy, new Alfa CEO Antonio Barravalle says, "We have cut the budget for our advertising campaign and
will do the 8C instead, because it is a perfect way to promote the Alfa brand." We couldn't agree more.

The plan is to debut the production version at the Paris show in late September, where the company will start to take
orders for a limited production run of 500 coupes. Apparently Barravalle is also considering a future Spider version.

Speculation is that the new 8C will follow the carbon fiber body/spaceframe chassis construction of the concept
car, with a 440 hp V8 powerplant based on the current Ferrari-Maserati unit. More pictures of Alfa's road-going glory
after the jump.

Funny looking little grille? It's only the trademark that Alfa Romeo have carried since before Enzo Ferrari was the factory race chief, since before the prancing horse was a mascot on Alfas rather than a badge in its own right.

Why does the Bugatti Veyron have that funny little grille? Why do BMW's have those two nostrils? What's with that funny looking taillights on my Corvette?
